I know what you mean about the cold but I think the answer's in the word, 'bottle'

These deicers barely work. It take one full can to just do front windscreen. Total waste of money.

Just get a car with heated windscreen... simples, 1 minute and all the ice has gone.

Or alternatively, you could just spend a couple of minutes scraping the windscreen and save yourself the money.

u'd have to be VERY cheap to do that. on average i'll get through 1 1/2 bottles per winter so normally £2 max it's not a lot to be thinking of alternatives tbh

And I think you'll find that if you use this rubbish, you'd barely get two days out of the bottle in the current inclement weather.

Good old Tesco had their standard de-icer cans at £2 last week (rip off enough) and magically now that the snow's down this week they're £2.50.

Can't resist a nice price gouge, some people ..

Or copy half the drivers on the road and do neither! But it'll be someone else's fault when they have an accident - probably the government's!

Mine was a bottle of slush this morning and it had been sitting INSIDE the front door overnight; only down to minus five outside. Manufacturers are clearly diluting this kind of stuff as far as they think they can get away with and it just doesn't work. Mine is CarPlan but bought a while back - does it go off (ie active ingredient evaporate)?

De-icer just isn't as good as it used to be now. Pre-icer works great though.

Sarcasm doesn't become you, besides it has more uses than that. Where I live you need it to defrost your windscreen washer nozzles and if they freeze up again you use it as emergency windscreen cleaner with your arm stuck out the window pulling the trigger furiously,
